2018年世界杯已落幕……

决赛很精彩，法国队 4:2 击败克罗地亚，时隔 20 年再次捧起了大力神杯。

France has won the FIFA World Cup for the second time in history by defeating Croatia 4-2 in a thrilling tournament final in Moscow.

决赛一共打进了 6 个进球，仅次于 1958 年世界杯巴西队 5:2 击败瑞典队的比赛。

Six goals have made it the highest-scoring final over regular time in 60 years.

这个夜晚对于法国队主帅德尚来说具有特别的意义——1998年，他作为队长带领法国队第一次捧起大力神杯；20年后，作为主帅，他带领年轻的法国队第二次在世界杯赛场上夺冠。

克罗地亚队虽然在决赛中落败，但是他们可以昂首离开。赛前大概没有人想到这个人口只有420万的小国会在世界杯的征程中走到这么远……

Croatia will return home as beaten World Cup finalists, but they earned a prolonged standing ovation from their fans at the final whistle.

这个夜晚，胜利属于法兰西，但是全场最热烈的掌声属于“魔笛”莫德里奇——那个“放羊的孩子”拿到了世界杯金球奖！

Luka Modric has won the Golden Ball at the World Cup for being the player of the tournament. His solid performance guided his country to their first World Cup final.

世界杯期间，一段珍贵的视频在网上热播——视频中，一个身材瘦弱的男孩穿着一件太大的外套在山间放羊，而一头狼就站在不远处。

Modric's past has come to light in revealing documentary footage.

这段影片的拍摄者 Pavle Balenovic 回忆说，这段视频拍摄于 1989 年和 1990 年之间，当时他打算拍摄一部有关狼的纪录片，他也是多年之后才得知画面中的小男孩是年幼的莫德里奇。

So I took the shots of my friend and his son collecting their herd of goats, closing the pen and some scenes directed as it was planned for editing a wolf documentary...

Then just a few years ago I got some information on who the small boy collecting his father's herd in my episode is.

在战火中背井离乡，他开始练习足球；因为身材瘦小不被看好，但他依然没有放弃……

I had a difficult path, but you should never give up...I never doubted myself, as you don't have to be tall to play football.

本届世界杯，32 岁的他七场比赛全部首发出场，其中还有三场打到艰苦的加时赛。

但是他扛着 420 万克罗地亚人的希望与荣光，拼命奔跑、掌控全场，体能似乎永不枯竭，终于带领“格子军团”创造奇迹，也拿到了个人的至高荣誉。

Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic said: "He did the lion shareof our play and he was a deserved winner of the Golden Ball." lion's share: the largest portion

在决赛之前的记者会上，莫德里奇说，他不在乎个人奖项，他只希望克罗地亚获胜。

I'm focused only on the success of my team. It's very nice to be among the possible candidates, but I don't care about the individual prizes. I want Croatia to win the World Cup, as the rest is beyond my control.

在决赛结束之后，拿到金球奖的莫德里奇又说了这样一番话。

I am proud of the award. The incredible fan support makes me even happier. You know that despite the defeat you've achieved something big, but it's hard when you come so close and fall short.

关于得与失，关于胜利与失败，这位中场大师又给我们上了最好的一课。
